Tashkeel presents COVID Conversations, a group exhibition by UAE-based artists and designers that reflect upon the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. By focusing on creative acts that seek to explore, understand and process responses and reactions to the pandemic, the exhibition aims to examine the highs and the lows of the psychological impact, and creativity borne from the challenges of limitation, isolation and change, whether positive or negative.

In collaboration with designers Heimann + Schwantes and the scholars of Kurator für Künstler / Curator for Artists, Berlin, I have worked on a new presentation of my work, which I am very happy to launch today!

Please have a look at my latest writing on a recent video work of mine!

The Southland Institute (for critical, durational, and typographic post-studio practices) has published a list of books worth reading.

City Center / Nomadic Monads is conceived of five approximately ten-foot-high columns based on various geometric forms (circle, triangle, square, pentagon, hexagon), each made of two-way mirror glass.

Installed temporarily in public space at the Sharjah Art Foundation, these objects allude equally to the glass curtain walls of corporate skyscrapers and to the bodies of passers-by.
